The Message Bible MSG
New International Version NIV
1 I'm thanking you, God, from a full heart, I'm writing the book on your wonders.
1
I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2 I'm whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy; I'm singing your song, High God.
2
I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
3 The day my enemies turned tail and ran, they stumbled on you and fell on their faces.
3
My enemies turn back; they stumble and perish before you.
4 You took over and set everything right; when I needed you, you were there, taking charge.
4
For you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting enthroned as the righteous judge.
5 You blow the whistle on godless nations; you throw dirty players out of the game, wipe their names right off the roster.
5
You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Enemies disappear from the sidelines, their reputation trashed, their names erased from the halls of fame.
6
Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished.
7 God holds the high center, he sees and sets the world's mess right.
7
The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.
